What would be true for comparison of Anaphase I and Anaphase II of meiosis?
1. | Centromere does not split in Anaphase I and homologues separate but centromere splits in Anaphase II and sister chromatids separate. |
2. | Centromere splits in Anaphase I and homologues separate but centromere does not split in Anaphase II and sister chromatids separate. |
3. | Paired homologues get attached to spindle from opposite poles in Anaphase I while sister chromatids of individual chromosomes get attached to spindle from opposite poles in Anaphase II. |
4. | Paired homologues get attached to spindle from opposite poles in Anaphase II while sister chromatids of individual chromosomes get attached to spindle from opposite poles in Anaphase I. |
